The chair is finished in Rexene which was popular in the late Victorian era when it was invented, its water resistant and doesn't perish like leather so was considered a marvel in its day Condition wise my plan was to fully reupholster these, happily I have around 10-12 other pairs of armchairs waiting for the process so these are spare Dimensions Height:- 97.5cm Width:- 68.5cm Depth:- 56cm Seat height:- 43.5cm less
